Most teachers include some personal information on their web pages. Possible items include:
  1. Name, school, position
  2. Educational background Contact information including your email address. Do NOT include your home phone or cell phone numbers
  3. Hobbies
  4. Interests
  5. Favorites (quotes, food, movies, books, sports teams, etc.)
  6. Honors/Recognition
  7. Photos

Photos
You may include a picture of you and/or your family. The pictures should be appropriate - if others are in the pictures, you should seek their permission prior to posting the picture. Use caution when posting photos of students unless the site is restricted. Remember our students are under age 18 and there are risks involved; identifying information should definitely NOT be included.

Icons/Buttons
If you include icons or buttons, be sure that it is clear in terms of what they link to. For example, I might use an email icon as opposed to listing my email address. Students or parents can simply click on the icon and go directly to email.
